Let's gone Les Chanticleers

i think this will be a good game, and a gauge if Samoa have got themselves sorted out. If Samoa play the way they did in week 1, I think France are a good chance.

However, I do think Samoa are on the rise, so should win by a few.

Excited to see man-mountain Le Cam get some more minutes for France...but needs to stop getting pushed backwards in the tackle.

 

[Stinkfinger]

France with 28.5 start good value.

 

[Northern]

That was slightly disappointing, but Samoa look unrecognisable from opening game. Roll on next Sunday.

 

[Coastbloke]

C’mon France. What the hell…!!??

First time I've seen France play in many years.

They have some good players that could easily make a mark in the NRL, I wonder if we'll ever see a French player come over. I think Remi at the Roosters 5 years ago would have been the last one.

Also a fantastic crowd considering no UK teams were involved.

Tonga V Somoa might be the game of the tournament

 

[This Year?]

I still don't know how Mourgue survived being swallowed by Paulo. The French play an uptempo game and look busy in defence but couldn't handle the sheer size of the Samoans. I love how the French never took a backward step even though they got smashed.
Samoa have found their mojo and Luai concerted it beautifully.
